Description

My home area is Industrial/Organizational Psychology, the application of psychological principles to the working world. In particular, I’m interested in how the Internet has and will change the way work is conducted. Social media and 3D virtual environments are at the frontiers of both research and practice, and they are my focus. I use this blog to provide live coverage of academic conferences that I am attending, report on current research in technology applied to work, and promote my lab’s research.

Are You Or Your Child Addicted to Online Games? An Online Assessment Tool

In an upcoming issue of Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking, Papay and colleagues[1] provide psychometric evidence for the short-form Problematic Online Gaming Questionnaire (developed earlier and published in PLOS ONE[2]) using a national sample of 5,045 high school students. The short-form version is especially interesting because it has six dimensions over just twelve items. However, the [...] Related articles from NeoAcademic: Why Do People Play Online Social Games?

Overemphasis on Theory Development Is Damaging Organizational Psychology

In a recent article appearing in Organizational Psychology Review, Pillutla and Thau[1] make some very strongly worded arguments about the role of theory development in psychological science. I’ll start exploring their paper with a quote in their own words: The state of [industrial/organizational psychology] and its obsession with novel theoretical contributions is antithetical to the goals of [...] Related articles from NeoAcademic: Recent Cheating Scandal at U of Flordia Highlights […]

SIOP 2013: Day 3

Day 3 was the final day of the SIOP conference. Per tradition, sessions were lightly attended – too much late night enjoyment at the end of Day 2, I suspect! I had a slow start myself, only getting to poster sessions a little after 10AM.

SIOP 2013: Day 2

Day 2 of SIOP 2013 was a bit busier for me. After an early breakfast, I headed to my first session of the day at 8:30, a discussion of social media in selection, which ended up really being a discussion of LinkedIn in selection. Like Day 1, this was a bit depressing. Although there was [...] Related articles from NeoAcademic: SIOP 2013: Day 1 SIOP 2013: Schedule Planning SIOP 2010: Planning My Schedule SIOP 2012: Scheduling Planning SIOP 2011: Schedule Planning
